Weekend in Pictures // Mizzou Football

John and I decided to load up the boys Saturday and take them to Columbia for Scout's first Mizzou football game. they ended up beating Connecticut even though it was a really slow game. Sawyer and Scout did amazing and had so much fun. We even got a chance to head over to the training facility and see the new Sam & June Hamra Family Mizzou Bowl Traditions Hall named after the boys Great Grandparents. They were so exhausted when we got home, Scout slept 9.5 hours that night!

Mizzou Trips

We love everything Mizzou! So, when we got the chance to head to Columbia for two basketball games, two weekends in a row...we were pumped!

First weekend, we brought the Tarwater's for our annual #hamwater Mizzou trip, this year sans the kiddos. They are getting ready to move to Texas in a few weeks and we wanted to make sure we keep the tradition alive. 

The second weekend, we brought the Waddell's for the Arkansas game. Nicole is a fellow Mizzou alum and she was able to bring her adorable son Beckett for his first Tiger basketball game. 

Both weekends we were sure to check out Shakespeare's pizza, a Columbia must!

baby's first game too

Sawyer + Kaiden's Build-a-Bear Adventure

Sawyer's aunt Cindy, uncle Rob and cousin Kaiden gifted him a Build-a-Bear gift certificate for his 2nd Birthday. I think this was partially because John's sister Cindy knew John was totally against the idea of taking Sawyer there (that's what sisters are for, right?) but also because it was a chance to have a field trip with our little guys. 

John, Sawyer, Cindy, Kaiden, Grandma Donnetta and me met at the Branson Landing for Sawyer and Kaiden's first BAB experience. And to John's surprise, Sawyer loved it and I think he had some fun too. Of course, he picked out the most expensive item...a Tiger dressed as a hockey player.  He named him T.T Oshie (Truman the Tiger Oshie), for you non-Blues/ Mizzou fans that is a mix of T.J. Oshie (St. Louis Blues player) and Truman (Mizzou's mascot). Kaiden made a monkey that he let Sawyer name, he picked Truman....again. Sawyer even helped him fill and wash him. Thanks to Cindy & Rob for a great gift and a fun day!

Weekend in Pictures: Sawyer's 1st Mizzou Football Game

What a game!! Mizzou faced Florida last Saturday in Columbia for Gold Rush and we were lucky enough to get tickets from John's Grandparents. John's two favorite college football teams are Mizzou (of course) and Florida so he was super excited. Plus, we were able to bring Sawyer for his first Mizzou football experience. Mizzou dominated with a final score of 36 to 17. Luckily we were in the President's Suite because it was pretty chilly. Our friend Kathy and Mike were kind enough to let us crash at their house. They have an adorable little girl Ella who is just about 8 months older than Sawyer. We invited over the Carter's (Anna, Clint, Keller and Zane) for a night in of pizza, beer (adults only), instruments and movies. Boy, how things have changed!! And what makes the weekend even better, after the win, Mizzou is ranked #5!!!
